Next Step - 8th March 2020

Overnight the wind has remained very consistent. At about 0630, I decided to reef the genoa as the boat speed was on occasions exceeding 11knots, which is probably not a good idea in case something breaks. Jeremy put his fishing line out in the morning but unfortunately, we did not catch anything. The sea was a bit rougher today and we were taking waves over the top of the boat so for the first time at sea since July, we put up the sprayhood to give the cockpit a bit of protection. The afternoon was spent relaxing and reading. In the evening Nicole made a tomato and cheese filled pasta. According to the AIS we had other WorldARC boats approximately ten miles away on both sides. Thankfully, the wind remained with us for the evening and overnight.
